While most feedback centers on strong quality and variety, a few reviews note changes over time or less satisfying items, including some pastries or coffee, and a few visits feel disappointing compared with earlier experiences. Positive mentions include galette des rois, kouign amann, baguettes, and a wide range of viennoiseries, with online ordering or arriving early recommended since popular items can sell out. Overall, the bakery is seen as a standout in the neighborhood with loyal patrons and consistent offerings, even as opinions about consistency over time vary.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Mi-Station reviews point to a hot day visit with a long line and only a few staff, which can slow things down, with a menu mainly offering vanilla and chocolate and some wish for more flavors. The ice cream is described as smooth, tasty, and a good size, though a few notes mention it can be a bit too creamy and that sugar content is reasonable; praise appears for fast service, cleanliness, and organization, while others feel the experience is decent but not especially special due to the classic flavors. A coffee ice cream option gets positive mention, and the bottom line is that Mi-Station is a solid choice for ice cream on a busy weekend if patience is available.View restaurant profile
